Our research group - Al Mansor Helal, Ashley Rieske, Andrea Honeycutt - gave a talk at AGATE this year and enjoyed learning from and interacting with local stakeholders. We also have a new photo for the Wai lab. jonathanwai.net/wai-lab/

"In her new book, Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Save Lives, psychobiologist and epidemiologist Daisy Fancourt argues that alongside diet, sleep, exercise, and nature, the arts should be considered the fifth pillar of health."

H1b policy has unintended but quite logical consequences. Recruit international talent where the cost is feasible.

Every year, China recruits 100,000 top high school students into a “Genius” program with a focus on STEM.
Alumni of this program include founders of Bytedance, PDD, Taobao and Meituan. As well as the core engineers behind TikTok algo, DeepSeek and Alibab’s Qwen AI models (as well as Tencent’s new Chief Scientist poached from OpenAI).
The essential nature of creative endeavors is my latest review in @ScienceMagazine of the book "Art cure" science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Humans have an unusually high diversity of foraging styles, which may contribute to their ecological success. Today, many people forage in berry picking, mushroom collecting, or ice fishing competitions, as shown here on Gull Lake in Brainerd, Minnesota.
The interplay of environmental uncertainty and social competition makes these contexts ideal for studying social decision-making under natural and ecologically relevant conditions.

Kinda crazy this statement had to be made.
Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.
